Hai everybody !! 
For my dissertation in musicology, I write about composers of educatorial material for violin and 'cello. Last Sunday, I came across a "Duo Facile" (easy duet) for 2 celli, by the Czech composer Dušan Vrchoslav.
The sheetmusic contains a little biography of this man, but it's in Czech, so I can only understand half of it. Would you please help me translate this? That would be wonderful! Let's start with the first alinea:
Se narodel v Novém Meste nad Váhom, svá školní léta v Rumburku až do roku 1938, kdy bula jeho rodina nucena odejít z pohraniči do Náchoda, kde dokončil gymnázium. Studium houslí v Praze u profesora B. Voldand přerušila válka, dokončil je, spolu se studiem sbrorového zprěvu a dirigování, až po válce.
I guess it means something like: he was born in Nove Meste (slovak?) close to Vahorn and attented school in Rumburg 'till '38 [.....no idea....] he got his gymnasium-diplom. He went to study in Prague with professor B. Voldand, where he was teached .... and direction.
All additions and corrections are more than welcome! I'd love to add Vrchoslav to my dissertation!
Best wishes, Martine. xx
